I am surprised you say that given Kulich's season in Rochester at 18. Do you mean better right now, or projected?

VP selection is very often decided by factors other than who is the “best qualified candidate” and often it is to appeal to a certain group of voters that might not otherwise be drawn to the ticket. I recently learned how and why Roosevelt picked Harry Truman, a person he never knew, to be his last VP running mate, even though he had a VP from prior terms. And of course, as I looked deeper into it, I find there are several interpretations of this story.

Why think the worst? Because they fired him for it. From the limited info in the news article apparently more people did not like it. I coached sports for many years, managed people for many decades - never felt I needed pictures of their friends and family to get to know them. Talking to them in an open and honest manner - yes. Setting rules and standards - yes. Looking at pictures of their spouse and kids is not a need, and it comes well after the relationship is established. Then again, I keep learning how are different things are today.

He wanted to see pictures from their phones? Is that creepy or what? Boundaries?

Bills and Allen looked like a different team this week. The preseason rust is knocked off. I just hope they keep it going and peak at the right time.

Does anyone have an updated height and weight for Rosen and Kulich? It was asked before, how did we get Fleming? edit: Fleming is 18, undrafted, from Quebec. Invited to camp to fill a spot.

Fun to watch this. Some good looking prospects at F and D imo. Sabres draft and develop strategy is progressing.

I knew a guy with this problem. He threw up every time. John, didn’t you listen to Zeppelin and Deep Purple? It’s not metal, but some of their music was foundational to what became metal.

WSJ is the best imo.

Same here. Looking forward to it.

This is really great work, thanks for your time on this. Reading the whole post, including your thoughts/opinions, helped me a lot.

I believe that 16 more pounds gets him up over 190 lbs. I have seen him listed at 5’11” and at 6’. He is a good sized winger and he looked pretty strong last year too. At 19 he is developing physically and really putting in the work. He might be one of those guys that breaks through quickly even though Buffalo has a logjam of prospects at forward.

You know, that anonymous guy over there.

Not when you read his two responses. First he is virtue signaling that you cannot assume that someone is (or is not) being a jerk behind the scenes. Next he posts a cloddish comment about Kim. But he did it in a way that he perceives as humorous and harmless, so that makes it ok? His comment on Kim does not offend me, I get his attempt at humor, but would her close friends and family feel the same way? It points out how easily our words can get us in trouble in the 2020's. We don't know what Pegula said, how he said it, or even if he said anything. We don't know what Trotter is about as a professional working for NFL media, we don't know his relationships, or how his performance on the job is perceived. But here we go, taking sides on all the "what if's" scenarios.

You proved yourself to be right, nice job.

I expect choice number two, not sure we will see it, but that is the expectation.

You can disagree all you want. If this hearsay that Trotter heard from an unnamed 3rd party really blows up against Pegula then he may have no choice but to fight back. He has the time and the resources to do it.

There is no solace in getting to overtime as they are now 0-5 in OT. Josh is pretty much is 100% to blame for every single turnover. The “punt” interception was a very stupid decision by a veteran qb and it fired up the Jets. They broke a big play right after it. The next INT was another stupidly forced pass on 2nd down. Throw it away and try again. The next INT he was forcing ball on 3rd and 2 when there were other options. The double fumble was worst of all, any kind of drive likely wins the game. We have 7 years of data that says he has great athletic ability but is not a smart player. He improved his game in so many ways since we drafted him but he still isn’t a smart player. Not smart like Peyton Manning or Brady or Mahommes He makes a lot of big mistakes. He played like a rookie. Someone on this coaching staff needs to get his attention. Diggs tried already.

It just might be worth it to him, he might feel very strongly about clearing the air. It he doesn’t go beyond this statement then these claims hang around uncontested.

Trotter was hired by The Athletic so he has a new platform. Anyone know who replaced him on NFL network?

It’s the next day it it feels no better. It’s week 1. That is all.

Allen has stopped progressing. Very simple things are not sinking in. He has not learned to slide or run out of bounds when the yards aren’t critical. He still throws into double coverage danger. He still looks long when a short pass will work. He is bailing out of the pocket quickly at times but his throws on the run are not always there like before. Dating movie stars, doing commercials, golfing with celebs… it is time to go to work kid.

I feel better about this team this year than I did about lasts years AFC front runners. I like the team being out of the spotlight. The key to the season is always Josh Allen, and he will need a better job from the OL than he got last year. The OL has to be better with the additions at guard but I am still concerned about OT, especially RT. I like adding Damien Harris and Latavius Murray with Cook. I like Dalton Kincaid and I hope they can work him into the game plan right away. Need Diggs to be a leader and make plays. Need more consistency from Davis. On defense we are getting older and it will be interesting to see if they are better under McD. We are going to see what kind of hole Edmunds left at LB. Milano is back and is the best player on the defense right now. Christian Kirksey (LB) is a good vet pick up and /i hope he get to play soon. The veteran safeties are back which is good but they are another year older. Tre White is a guy we really need to turn back to form. We need Von Miller to be Von Miller when he gets back. Rousseau and Oliver need to step up and be consistent. We added a few vets on the DL like Floyd (DE) and Poona (DT) that could help. A new season is upon us with lots of questions and hopes along way. Tonight is a big game, like all division games. The Jets will be gunning for us with their new QB. The crowd will be whipped up by the 911 ceremony, and the media will be fawning too. The Bills tend to do well in these national TV regular season big show downs. Bills - 31 Jets - 20 Go Bills!

Spare forward to start the season.
